• Fixed crash/loud noise/silence when opening a project back up in some DAWs
  Normalized all factory patches!
  Better volume range to reduce distortion
  Fixed audio "blipping" that occurred sometimes when playing low notes, then high notes

  Modulation meters show last note played instead of (jumpy) average
  New stutter format with tempo syncing
  Stutter responds better to modulation and changing parameters
  Helm now responds to midi learn when GUI is closed
  Prioritized audio thread reduces the possibility of glitches at high CPU usage
  Fixed author not saving to patch
  Added modulation highlighting so you can see what sources are modulating a control
  Performance improvements for some features
  Oscilloscope now is note aligned for better viewing
  Fixed audio glitch when loading a patch with lots of saturation then one with little saturation

• Performance improvements!
  Fixed crash when deleting and recreating a plugin
  Fixed saved state not loading correctly when opening project in DAW
  Fixed some Windows installation problems that caused patches not to appear
  Fixed some buffer size issues that caused audio glitches in some DAWs
  AAX Plugin for Windows is now included
  Way better sounding Formant Filter
  Per channel pitch bend
  Microtonal pitch bend support
  Added randomized waveforms to LFO sections
  Better oscilloscope scale in plugin version
  Added enable/disable animation flag

Looking forward to testing the new version but alas, I can't get past this compile bug when building from git sources :

Maybe I'll just statically link libpng in for now..

Hey Matt,

I built and installed the latest git pull tonight, everything works fine now. At the moment I'm only testing the VST but so far so good in Bitwig 1.3.11.

Thanks for such a great synth !

Best,

It's strange for me, because audioeffectx.h exists, i've got VST SDK installed.
Do i need to do some extra?

Just add -DHAVE_LROUND to your CXXFLAGS.

build() {
  cd "${srcdir}/${_pkgname}"
  
  CXXFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -DHAVE_LROUND"

  make PREFIX="/usr" all vst
}

what parameters does Mod Envelope affect?
(or is it totally assignable, and by default does nothing?)

thanks in advance.
